Vincent Murano was an elite New York City detective when his superiors offered him a job he couldn't refuse: go undercover as a mobster to root out corruption in the N.Y.P.D. Taking on the persona of small-time Mafia hood Vinnie Muscio, Murano began setting up stings to catch suspect cops. What he found was beyond his worst fears and nightmares: cops who deal weapons; cops who deal drugs; cops who kill, maim, and finger potential murder victims for the mob.
After serving as the bodyguard and confidante of Bob Leuci, the real-life protagonist of Robert Daley's Prince of the City ( LJ 11/15/78), Murano became a "cop hunter," a member of the New York City Police Department's Internal Affairs Division. With the help of Hoffer, coauthor with Billy Hayes of Midnight Express ( LJ 4/15/77), Murano has written a suspenseful, insightful, and unsettling expose of his nine-year tenure uncovering police corruption. He details crimes as seemingly innocuous as supplying license plate information to those as serious as murder and drug trafficking. While his observations are at times self-serving, Murano has neverthless written a fast-paced and thrilling book that is recommended for any crime collection.
